🌿 Before & After — Ananya's Terrace Garden
"My terrace pots were a constant battle — the soil would dry out within a day in summer, and I was watering twice daily just to keep things alive. I replaced half the soil with Gud & Gram Cocopeat and the change was night and day. The soil stayed moist for two full days after watering. My herbs — basil, mint, coriander — that had been wilting by afternoon now stood fresh and full even in the evening sun. My water usage dropped, my plants thrived, and my terrace finally felt like the garden I always imagined."
Before: Soil drying out daily, wilting herbs, twice-daily watering needed
After: Moisture retained for 2 days, thriving herbs, 50% less watering
